Background The acute effects of exposure to ambient particulate matter with an
aerodynamic diameter≤ 1 μm (PM 1) on cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality remain …

Background: Fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) air pollution exposure has been identified as a
global health threat. However, the types and sources of particles most responsible are not …

Air pollution, especially airborne particulate matter (PM), is associated with an increase in
both morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease, although the underlying …

Observational studies have consistently demonstrated an association between exposure to
air pollution and increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This association is …

Context: Short-term fluctuations in air pollution have been associated with changes in both
overall and cardiovascular mortality. Objective: To consider the effects of air pollution on …

Background Ambient air pollution exposures have been frequently linked to cardiovascular
disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality. However, less is known about the populations most …

It is well known that exposure to particulate air pollutants is associated with the development
of adverse health effects. In particular, there is growing evidence of a close relationship …

Air pollution is composed of particulate matter (PM) and gaseous pollutants, such as
nitrogen dioxide and ozone. PM is classified according to size into coarse particles (PM 10) …

Objective To inform potential pathophysiological mechanisms of air pollution effects on
cardiovascular disease (CVD), we investigated short-term associations between ambient air …

Background Most prospective studies on the health effects of particulate ambient air
pollution exposure have focused on high-income countries, which have much lower …
